Album numbering
editWhat about SubPop? There should be some mention of SubPop.
This page states Action Pact is their Ninth Album whereas the Action Pact page says it is their ninth album. Not sure which is correct, but this should be fixed.
Sorry the Action Pact page says it is their seventh album.
- Well, not counting Peppermint (which is an EP, not a full album), and the live album, Action Pact is the seventh. Adam Bishop 05:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Impact
editShouldn't there be some mention of the "Halifax is the next Seattle" sentiment, which persisted for some years (I believe Spin mentioned it several times) following the decline of Grunge? 66.46.152.30 19:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Songwriting Credits
editHow about adding songwriting credits to the album pages? Anyone up for it? DiggyG 05:13, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Band Formation
editChris and Jay started Sloan, didn't they? They were both in Kearney Lake Road and if I'm remembering correctly Andrew was the last to join the band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.234.106.114 (talk) 21:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Sloanband.jpg
edit
Image:Sloanband.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

External Link suggestion: Sloan feature in Crawdaddy!
editAs an editor at Crawdaddy!, and to comply with COI guidelines, I am not posting the link to this new interview feature about Sloan. However, I would like to recommend it on its merits, and hope that an editor will find the time to examine the piece and—if he or she sees fit—post it to the external links section. I appreciate your time. Crawdaddy! [1]

"One of the best Canadian Bands"
editThe article's intro paragraph ends with "The success and recognition of their albums, (most notably Twice Removed) in rankings has made Sloan one of the best Canadian bands of all time.[2]"
I like Sloan as much as the next guy, but isn't a statement like "best Canadian band" a little bit subjective (word wise)? If it had said something like "most accomplished" or "most popular" that would be fine, but "best band" is a little hard to objectively measure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.55.112.231 (talk) 01:50, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
